Hello
Hi! I am Amy- I love helping students gain confidence in their academic lives by helping them understand how they learn and what they need to do to improve their executive function skills. I am also a reading specialist who loves to work with students who need help with decoding and comprehension. I thoroughly enjoy what I do and am passionate about helping students in need.
